WINTERMAN is more than a triathlon
It is a unique journey through the landscape of Bohemian Switzerland and the Lusatian Mountains, full of deep valleys, rock towers, and untouched nature, ending at the iconic Ještěd peak (1012 m).
Our goal is to give you the opportunity to show your family, friends, and partners what hundreds of hours of training, hard work, and determination are worth. WINTERMAN was born out of a desire to create a race built on the pure essence of triathlon – connected with nature, heart, and loved ones.
The race is not just about performance, but also about sharing. Your loved ones are part of the journey; without their support, it wouldn't be possible. Together, you will experience the emotions and respect that make WINTERMAN more than a sport – a true legend.
A strong story of faith, motivation, love, and friendship stands behind WINTERMAN.
My name is Vladimír. Sport has been my heart since childhood – climbing, cycling, swimming…
In 2012, my wife gifted me a start in the legendary Norseman. I only finished it thanks to her. She was pregnant and was the greatest support a person could wish for. I thought no challenge could be harder. I was wrong. Three months after the race, our daughter Adélka was born with a serious heart defect.
A year in the hospital. Operations. Uncertainty. Fear.
The strength I found during the race helped me get through days when much more was at stake than a medal.
Adélka fought. And she won.
Winterman is not just a race. It is a journey that hurts, but connects. It is a moment when you reach the bottom – and find that someone is waiting for you there, that true strength is born from relationships.
It's about the people who stand beside you. About the support that holds you up when you can't go on. About the heart that beats for more than just the finish line. Every step, every stroke, every kilometer carries a deeper meaning. Because somewhere right now, someone is fighting their toughest battle.
For ten years, we supported the Children's Cardio Center in Motol and collectively donated 1 million CZK. Since 2024, our help has been directed directly to families of little fighters going through their own dark times.
Winterman connects hearts. On the track and beyond.
